Shared experiential learning is critical in the field of pediatric surgery to support the translation of evidence into practice. Surgeons who develop QI interventions in their own institutions based on the best available evidence create work products that can accelerate similar projects in other institutions, rather than continuously reinventing the wheel. The American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA) Quality and Safety Committee (QSC) toolkit was created to facilitate knowledge-sharing and thereby hasten the development and implementation of QI. The toolkit is an expanding open-access web-based repository of curated QI projects that includes evidence-based pathways and protocols, stakeholder presentations, parent/patient educational materials, clinical decision support (CDS) tools, and other components of successful QI interventions in addition to contact information for the surgeons who developed and implemented them. This resource catalyzes local QI endeavors by showcasing a range of projects that can be adapted to fit the needs of a given institution, and it also serves as a network to connect interested surgeons with successful implementers. As healthcare shifts towards value-based care models, quality improvement becomes increasingly important, and the APSA QSC toolkit will continue to adapt to the evolving needs of the pediatric surgery community.
在小儿外科学领域，共享体验式学习对于将证据转化为实践至关重要。外科医生根据最佳现有证据在自己的机构中制定质量改进干预措施，会产生可加速其他机构类似项目的工作成果，而不是不断地重新发明轮子。美国小儿外科学会 (APSA) 质量和安全委员会 (QSC) 工具包旨在促进知识共享，从而加快质量改进的发展和实施。该工具包是一个不断扩展的开放获取的基于网络的 curated QI 项目存储库，其中包括基于证据的途径和协议、利益相关者演示文稿、家长/患者教育材料、临床决策支持 (CDS) 工具以及其他成功的 QI 干预措施的组成部分，此外还提供了开发和实施这些项目的外科医生的联系信息。该资源通过展示一系列可适应特定机构需求的项目来促进本地 QI 工作，同时它也是一个将感兴趣的外科医生与成功实施者联系起来的网络。随着医疗保健向基于价值的护理模式转变，质量改进变得越来越重要，APSA QSC 工具包将继续适应小儿外科学社区不断变化的需求。
